[QUOTE="fatbob88, post: 383031, member: 12143"] Thanks for the re-assurance John, much appreciated. So no real worries for me as I have my own fuse. If it does blow I presume he will have to get UK PN out to replace it i.e. he can't just get his own sparky to do it. Is that correct? And if so he will then have to make a serious effort to get the upgrade work done even if he has to pay out for the installation of the aforementioned ducting. Apart from the inconvenience to them of the supply being off for a while UK PN are not going to take it too kindly if it blows once again before the upgrade is done. As mentioned before we are both in leasehold maisonettes and the land/pathway to the street UK PN are to excavate has to be repaired and maintained by us under our lease obligations. Obviously, UK PN will be making good the pathway after the upgrade is complete so I have no objections to consenting to the work being done. Besides it's an improvement for me as I will no be bothered for access to my maisonette if any more work needs doing on his installation etc. However, should the freeholders also have to give consent to the work as technically the land belongs to them and not us the leaseholders? It's a common misconception among us leaseholders that we own the bricks and mortar to our flats and maisonettes when all we own is the right of peaceful occupation for the unexpired term of our leases. The UK PN engineer that came out reckons no freeholder consent is necessary. Cheers [/QUOTE]
